    Z-5500's worth it?

    Thanks for the input people. I know some proper audiophiles who all rock studio speakers and mad receivers. They all told me to go a similar way. The problem is though, that I haven't got the space for that kind of equipment on my computer desk. I was trying to decide whether or not to...

    Z-5500's worth it?

    Hey, I'm looking to snatch up some speakers soon (just turned 18, scored some cash and some speakers that I returned). I'm a little so and so about blowing £300 on a set of speakers (that's what they cost here), so I've settled on either the G51, or the Z-5500. Which to pick, the G51 or...

    Project "Impossible Modding"

    Thats the most beautiful piece of craftsmanship I've seen in a good while, very VERY good job rigor :) I'm in on the "use clear Plexiglas", I think it be worthwhile to let the insides of the case get some more attention, the smoked plexi is too view restrictive in my opinion. Other than...

    tall case, at least 24" tall

    I'd definitely go for a Stacker STC-T01 or a 810. I have one myself and it really lived up too all the hype. Plus, the power button, reset and leds are seated in a 5,25 inch bay, meaning that you can relocated it to where ever you want it.

    UT3 Demo + physx card

    Asus P5K Deluxe Motherboard Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4ghz (stock speed) CPU BFGtech Nvidia geforce 8800GTS 640mb Graphics Card Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2-800 Ram and of course an Asus PhysX P1 card :) Let it be known though, that I was running with an FPS cap of 200 at that point, and was...

    UT3 Demo + physx card

    I did some testing, ran Suspense a few times (should be the map that strains physics simulation the most, having a lot of vehicles and destroyable architecture) First up a few screenshots with Hardware Physics Acceleration OFF: Now, a few shots with Hardware Physics Acceleration ON...

    Ageia Physx a "mod" for UT3?

    Roboblitz comes with UnrealED 4.0, yeah. It's a tad cut down I believe, but fun can be had :)

    Project: Compaq Proliant 1500

    Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with this :) I'm a littler unclear on what your goal is, though.

    Bioshock and ppu

    Yeah, I just read that Havok was implemented for Bioshock, and shortly after I decided that they must've had an "lets do acid" day when that decision was made. I'll take it right from the start for you. Bioshock runs on the Unreal 3.0 Engine, which happens to already come with the PhysX Engine...

    Ageia Physx a "mod" for UT3?

    I care not, for the majority of the potential PhysX hardware for UT3 has lies in custom content created for the game. So MOD or not, plenty of people hanging round the community forums (level designers, programmers etc) will still be able to have plenty of fun with it, which is all the counts in...

    Q6600 vs e6320 Both OCed

    Well first off. Quad Core processors are here no waiting needs to be done, as a matter of fact the Q6600 just had a pricedrop yesterday which is still going. Secondly, it's a fine time to buy a C2D processor and DDR2 ram, no worries there. DDR3 is still in it's infancy outside of graphics...

    Unreal Tourney 3 (2007) Physx

    I read it. It isn't that long a read, just well formatted... I have to agree too, physics isn't very well benchmarkable as of now.

    E6850 or Q6600???

    Well, those benches were from another game than UT3 too ;)

    Project: Double Wide

    Thats lookin' real nice there, I'm a big fan of cube cases myself so a project like this is a definite winner for me ;) Looking forward to the cable management part now too, it's going to be fun to see if you can beat Frenzy's Deep black silverstone with power rails. One note though, it...

    Unreal Tourney 3 (2007) Physx

    You haven't really been doing your homework have you? I consider myself a pretty hardcore UT2004 player, I play a lot of tam and know my way around the bigger Unreal forums. What you're saying here talks against everything I've read to be perfectly honest. I do not mean any offense, but all the...

    E6850 or Q6600???

    Sorry if I'm not very on-topic and helping here, but anyway... I know that I myself have asked the same question as asked here many times, and I know that I'm no better myself. BUT there is a HEAVY amount of threads on this subject on this forum now and the number is growing. Am I the only one...

    motherboard supporting socket 939 and ddr2 ram

    There is a problem with this... DDR2 ram is simply not supported by the socket 939 processors, sad truth, but the truth none the less.

    6600: Quad or Not

    Thats was just about what I was wanting to hear Dan, thanks. Anyhow, I can get that physx card quite cheaply, so I'll still be grabbing it, for the sake of the Unreal 3.0 engine :p I chose the P5N32-E sli over the striker due to me not needing a display in the back, and the striker over the...

    6600: Quad or Not

    I'm not the quickest upgrader, as I have other stuff to spend my cash on too :p So I guess getting a quad is a good idea, won't be upgrading for atleast a year and a half. Sorry, but I'm not from epic: ( At the moment I'm an up and coming face in the level design community, I don't consider...

    6600: Quad or Not

    Ahoy Ahoy, first thread on these forums for me I think. Anyhow, I'm building a new rig soon, around late July I think. I'll be using it to play games and do levels for the Unreal engine mostly, among the usualy stuff. (browsing, etc). SO, my original plan was to grab a an E6600, since I...
